Lyrics
Best Revenge (the na na song)
©2020 Carl Stuck
I used to spend my days
dreaming up ways that I could rectify your slight
and when I’d to go to bed
inside my head those daydreams kept me up all night
But I won’t get your sin under my skin ‘cause I’ve got better things to do
but I’ve still got these five words to say to you
na na na na na
knowin’ you it’ll hurt just a little
na na na na na
to hear I’m doing fine
not gonna try to get even with you
‘cause even though my heart took time to mend
I know happiness is the best revenge
I know all your passwords
and the last word could be mine if I felt cruel
and if I called you out
there is no doubt you’d end up looking like the fool
but I won’t let your play get in my way ‘cause I’ve got better things to do
but I’ve still got these five words to say to you
na na na na na
knowin’ you it’ll hurt just a little
na na na na na
to hear I’m doing fine
not gonna try to
get even with you
‘cause even though my heart took time to mend
I know happiness is the best revenge
You won't see any tears when you look at me now
you won’t see any anger
I just smile when I hear all your friends asking “how?”
na na na na na
knowin’ you it’ll hurt just a little
na na na na na
to hear I’m doing fine
not gonna try to
get even with you
‘cause even though my heart took time to mend
I know happiness is the best revenge
